I just stumbled upon this glorious graphic novel. It's published online with one book out in print so far. It has great art, plays in a fascinating world(s) and the writing isn't falling short in any way. K6BD does have themes (and depiction) of violence and the world is all about religion and mythology (in a way), so maybe it's not something for people who are sensitive about these things. For all others, I highly recommend checking it out.

I can agree this is simply awesome. You can see the classic epic hero's journey, with the exactly right twists, in the works. The religo-mystical stuff hits just the right spots that got me excited when reading, say, Foucault's Pendulum.
